夏至 / SUMMER SOLSTICE
On the cusp of the longest day of the year, we will walk a little stretch of the Rockaway Peninsula and taste the flavors of this unique landscape shaped by glaciers, waves, humans, and birds. We will learn how to read plant wars in the back dunes and listen for the birds who take no sides. We can expect and hope to encounter: beach rose, juniper, honeysuckle, multiflora rose, pine, yucca, bayberry, milkweed, mulberry, and juneberry.
This walk takes place at Fort Tilden, Queens. Fort Tilden is accessible by public bus or the Rockaway Ferry. Unless you have a parking permit issued by Gateway NPS, do not count on driving (there will be no parking). I am able to drive 5 attendees from East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Email me to reserve a spot - first come, first served.
This workshop is part of 春游 / FIELD TRIPS, a spring foraging and cooking workshop series themed around plants from China that have naturalized in New York City - and all the questions they engender. Foraging workshops are Saturday, cooking on Sunday. See Events page for full series calendar.
